Awards

Pinch me moments, Rachel has been honoured to win.

Business can be both successful and responsible.

Rachel has never been one to chase awards. She’s far more interested in building things properly, questioning how things are done, and proving that business can be both successful and responsible. That said, people have noticed. Over the years, Rachel’s work in sustainable packaging, ethical business, and UK manufacturing, through Tiny Box Company, has earned recognition across industries that don’t hand out praise lightly.

A momentous career moment.

In 2024, Rachel was awarded an OBE for services to sustainable and ethical business growth and exports. It’s a significant honour, and one that reflects years of doing things differently, often before it was popular, and sometimes before it was convenient.
